Lukas_KD Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Ok, Bo*replies and glances down at the CB mic and box again. Thinking about how one item can mean so much. Move just a little to sit more comfortable. My head makes accidental contact with Luke's arm still draped across the top of the seat. I say quickly.* Sorry, Luke.*glancing sideways at the slightly-younger woman, one eyebrow just half raised... considering her, wondering what she'll do next... I can't get a fix on her direction of thought or anything, much as I might try - even her comments about the radio seem random. In response to her head-nudge, I give a slight grunt, not really caring one way or the other... sitting with my arm up just seems a good position to avoid crowding us all in... and makes it easier for a fast grab if need be* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be there soon enough. *edgy with her repeated glances to the CB.

Guest DanielPHorse Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *On the other side of town, near the ridge, Daniel follows the smoke until the ground slopes down into some woods, and then he finally finds the source of the smoke--a small cabin. He glances around, seeing no immediate danger, and slides off of Swift's back. He gives the horse a pat and a few murmured words, and the mustang instantly drops his head to crop. He won't stray any further than within earshot of Daniel's whistle. Daniel goes to the cabin door and knocks quietly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pendragon1980 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Leaving Chet still locked up in his wrecked jail cell and in a subdued state from the tranquilizer, MaryAnne left the courthouse and walked across the square toward Chance’s clinic**She slowed as she approached. Diablo was gone. And the place seemed exceptionally quiet**MaryAnne ascended the stairs and went into the clinic. She stood at the doorway to the exam room and found the two tables were empty. Brian, Garrett, Alex…the Duke boys. Everybody was gone**She walked into the empty room and approached the table where Brian had been. She touched the cut piece of handcuff that was still locked to the bedrail and frowned. That damn fool…. She let go of the cuff with a clatter and turned, walking out of the room and exiting the clinic**Chance had been back up the sidewalk, preoccupied with her own worries about this whole ordeal, when she nearly literally ran into MaryAnne on the porch steps, her only thought was..*oh damn, wonder how aiding and abetting escape two convicts looks to the AMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Enters the court house, bearing a paper sack of things for Chet, a ziploc bag of chocolate chip cookies, pack of Marlboro cigarettes and a disposable lighter. Not seeing Maryanne anywhere in sight heads down the stairs to where the main cells are, "Chet I brought ya......."Stops speaking mid sentence, dead in my tracks seeing the destruction in the cell its fearless occupant laying on the floor not looking none too healthy, but still alive and conscious.

Cowboy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Conscious although heavily sedated I hear BL and try to move to get up, my spurs scrape the floor as I am able to move my feet alittle. My arms curl around to my sides and I try heard to turn my heavy head up. Breathes deeply and blinks slowly creasing my brow at BL but not saying anything, my mind is so foggy.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 "Easy Chet just stay still" sits the paper sack down on the desk, begins to look for the keys to the cell wondering where MaryAnne could be. Finding the keys in a top drawer, takes them out going over to the cell unlocking it."What in the world happened, looks like a tornado hit in here." Inside the cell I squat down on my haunches, feeling Chet's neck for his pulse, relieved to find it strong but not as strong as it should be.

Cowboy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Tries to move at BL's touch, twitching and flopping alittle like a fish out of water. Breathes heavily from my efforts. My hand cuffed wrists are laced with dried blood and scabbing now that I have discontinued constantly yanking on them.The tranqulizer dart that MaryAnne shot me with and I yanked out of my leg lays nearby me on the floor, the cause of my current condition.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *Blinks slowly and tries to gather my thoughts and my mind in all the fog from the sedative. I want to talk and react to BL, but its so hard to collect enough of my thoughts to do so, only one thing stands out in my mind right now.* Blaze... Blaze... *Licks my dry lips and tightens my brow and groans.* Blaze... gone. *Sighs heavily relaxing my body, still defeated by the drug.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Gone?! *I saw the horse out front when Chet was first brought in but it isn't there now*. I'm sure Maryanne just put him somewhere where he'd be safe and well taken care of. *BL creases her brow, hoping she is right about the horse and it is just the drugs that is making Chet seem more upset about the horse's disappearance*.

Garrett Duke Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 *raises an eyebrow at this answer, not sure of the accuracy* Tell that to mah ribs and innards. The way Chet reacted when I drew a gun on ya, tells me that you're worth more than you think. *glances over at Alex* And we know Daney means somethin' to Garrett. But I don't know if her and Chet evah seen eye to eye.*Eyes Brian for a moment before nodding slightly * Guess it'd mean he at least cares for me *pauses, inhaling longly on cigarette* though wouldn't go as far as to say he'd go outta his way to save me if need be.

Those words being said BL steps out of the cell locking it once more, replacing the keys in the desk drawer leaving no indication of anyone having been in there. Takes one more quick look at Chet, turning to the stairs going up them once more and out of the court house now on a mission to find out what happened to the missing horse if she can.

MaryAnne walked back to the booking room and went down stairs to check on Chet**The big Duke was still pretty well under the influence of the tranquilizer and still on the floor of his cell. The cell door was locked. Satisfied Chet was where he was supposed to be, MaryAnne returned upstairs**She decided to remain in the booking room. Since somebody stole Chet's horse, she didn't want somebody to steal Chet too**Besides, she figured when somebody was ready to talk to her, they'd know where to find her* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
